Spirometry Interpretation: Flow-Volume Loop
Interpreting spirometry: distinguishing between obstructive, restrictive and mixes lung disease using the flow-volume loop and spirometry values.
Spirometry - Wikipedia
It measures lung function, specifically the amount (volume) and/or speed (flow) of air that can be inhaled and exhaled. Spirometry is helpful in assessing breathing patterns that identify conditions such as asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, cystic fibrosis, and COPD.
Airflow, Lung Volumes, and Flow-Volume Loop
FEV1: Volume exhaled in the first second. Peak expiratory flow (PEF): Maximal speed of airflow as the patient exhales. FEV1 is the most reproducible flow parameter and is especially useful in diagnosing and monitoring patients with obstructive pulmonary disorders (eg, asthma, COPD [chronic obstructive pulmonary disease]).

2016年8月20日 · FEV1: this stands for “Forced expiratory volume in 1 second”. It is the volume of air that can be forcefully expired in 1 second. VC: this stands for “Vital capacity” and refers to the amount of air that can be forcefully moved in or out of the lungs. WHAT IS THE UTILITY OF THE FLOW/VOLUME LOOP?
Spirometry Tests
The flow-volume loop is the most important graph in spirometry. A Flow-Volume loop begins at the intersection of the X-axis (volume) and Y-axis (flow): at the start of the test both flow and volume are equal to zero.

FEV1是重复性最好的指标，在诊断和监测阻塞性通气功能障碍性肺病（例如哮喘，COPD[man'xing'zu'sai'xing]）有很重要的价值。 FEV1 and FVC可用于阻塞性和限制性肺疾病严重度分级正常的 FEV1 不太可能导致不可逆的阻塞性肺病。 正常的 FVC 使限制性疾病不太可能发生。 FEV1/FVC 比率下降表明存在阻塞。 对于初次检查时有阻塞证据的患者，使用短效支气管扩张剂重复测量 FEV1 和 FVC 有助于区分可逆性支气管痉挛患者（如哮喘患者）和固定性阻塞 …

Flow-volume loop has been extensively used for evaluating the severity, progression and resolution of various causes of upper-airway conditions. Keywords: Flow-volume curve, Fixed Extrathoracic Airway obstruction.
Spirometry Interpretation
Peak Expiratory Flow and FEV1 can be normal in restrictive lung disease, but are often low as well. A spirometry form a patient with mixed lung disease shows both signs of obstructive and restrictive lung disease: both Tiffeneau and FVC are too low. With these pathologies the flow volume loop is flattened. Three forms are distinguished:
Spirometry • LITFL• CCC
2020年11月3日 · FEV1 = forced expiratory volume in 1 second (normally 4L) FVC = forced vital capacity (a little lower than VC because of dynamic airway closure; normally ~5L) PEFR = peak flow rate over an expiration (normally 500L/min)
Flow-volume loops - UpToDate
The flow-volume loop is a plot of inspiratory and expiratory flow (on the Y-axis) against volume (on the X-axis) during the performance of maximally forced inspiratory and expiratory maneuvers. Changes in the contour of the loop can aid in the diagnosis and localization of …
